• "Swan Cottage is located perfectly to explore Arundel on foot."

  You are minutes away from a host of independent shops and cafes. There are lovely walks along the river and through the town to the Wetlands Centre. We’d recommend visiting the local Museum and the Castle! We found the cottage clean and tidy, with comfortable beds and furniture. The addition of two parking spaces was a real bonus and we didn’t use the car for our entire stay. Yes the road is noisy, although we didn’t notice it when inside during the day. If it bothers you at night, simply wear earplugs. We’d definitely recommend Swan Cottage and very much look forward to returning to it in the future. The location is simply perfect.

  Thank you for your lovely review. It’s always nice when people can give recommendations of things to do in the area, and glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

  I did send notification of non attendance on the first night due to a cancer appointment for my wife. I didn't get a reply. OW a smashing cottage.

  Thank you so much for your comments. We are looking at changing the glazing in the front rooms, so hopefully next time you visit this will have been done. I am so sorry that you didn’t get a reply with regards to your late arrival. I do always try and respond immediately to any messages I receive. Sending best wishes to your wife and we do hope to see you again. Kind regards. Property Owner

• "The property is well located and well maintained."

  The provision of wine and biscuits was a nice and welcome touch. The only downside was the noise from the traffic when sitting out on the balcony. However, this did not spoil our stay.

  Thank you for your feedback and I’m glad you had a lovely stay in Arundel. The traffic can be a bit loud at times, but glad that the weather was good enough for you to use the balcony. We hope to see you you again Property Owner

  Very well maintained and equipped. Only downside was proximity to A27. Easy stroll in to town for shops and restaurants. Provision of up to date guide to cottage and recommendations for outings and eateries much appreciated.

• "Swan Cottage is a lovely holiday home in which everything has been thought of."

  It's extremely clean with comfortable furniture and beds. It's within easy walking distance to Arundel town and perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area by car. The neighbours all seemed lovely. Yes, the traffic noise is intrusive during the day but it does quieten down over-night. The owner responded to my one question very quickly and helpfully.

• "There is lots of attention to detail at Swan Cottage that makes for a very comfortable and pleasant stay."

  The beds and bedding are super comfy, and great quality. The location is brilliant for walking into town and enjoying numerous places to eat and drink, there is also a plethora of walks right from the door. The road outside is quite noisy if you are not used to traffic noise, but otherwise, given its town location, it’s very quiet with regards people noise. This would not put me off returning, and should I be looking to stay in this area again, I would not hesitate to book Swan Cottage

  Thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback. It is good to hear that you had a lovely stay with us and enjoyed exploring Arundel. Hope we see you again sometime. Ellen Property Owner

Very good communications with the owner, who kindly provided a welcome bottle of wine. Beautiful setting on the river and short walk into town.

• "A lovely property that we would recommend to others though, coming from a quiet part of the country, we found the noise of traffic from the A27 bridge near to the cottage most distracting and difficult to sleep through."

  For someone used to city traffic this probably would not be an issue. Other than that the cottage is very good and well situated.

• "The cottage (more like a house) was everything we hoped for, and more."

  It felt as though the entire property had just been refurbished - everywhere was spotless - from carpets to walls, furniture and utensils. Attention to detail was also much appreciated - from hooks on the back of the bathroom doors to spare batteries just in case the TV remote failed. (It didn't.) And although it's not really featured in the pictures, the 'spare room' leading to the balcony with the river view is another nice place to just chill. The road noise is obviously apparent, but knowing about it in advance meant it wasn't a nasty surprise. We just turned our backs and faced the other way for a gorgeous view up river.

• "Initial response on approaching Swan Cottage is the alarming noise from the main road."

  However, once inside the property it is reassuring that the only issue is a reluctance to sit on the balcony! The noise at night did not disturb our sleep but obviously it is a constant. Beds/bedding excellent. The cottage is very comfortable and well maintained and equipped. And so convenient for access to facilities in Arundel - particularly the Parsons Table !! Carparking spaces a bonus.

  It is spacious, clean and well-equipped. It has a lovely view of the river (yes, with swans). Arundel was very pleasant - it was a joy to leave the car in one of the two reserved parking spaces close to the cottage and just wander at will, sight-seeing and shopping. An excellent holday!

  Perfectly located, just a short walk to a variety of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops. Bit noisy as near a road, but a set of foam ear plugs sorts that. Arundel Castle is a must see and there is a lovely farm shop called Charlie’s about a 10 minute drive away. Try the LG cafe for fabulous cakes and La Campania for authentic Italian.

• "Swan Cottage was a delightful residence that fully met our expectations."

  It was comfortable, from the main lounge to the second lounge all was really good. The balcony overlooking the river was a delight. The beds were comfortable and warm. The bathrooms and showers were excellent, and the toilet on the ground floor was very convenient. The kitchen is modern and well kitted out. The owner also left us milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine to welcome us to our temporary home. Swan Cottage was our home for the week. Arundel is a lovely town with good pubs and excellent, if expensive, resturaunts. The surrounding area has many interesting places to visit, the pick of which was the Weald living museum, the home of BBCs "The Repair Shop". All in all, a very good choice for our holiday. Would highly recommend.

  It had everything you could want: clean, spacious, well equipped, excellent attention to detail, a warm welcome from the host, off-street parking, and only a short walk into Arundel. The only downsides were beyond the owner's control: the fact that the river is less than picturesque at that point in its flow; and also the close proximity to the A27 (although the traffic becomes 'white noise' very quickly and can be ignored). A thoroughly enjoyable short break in accommodation that I would be happy to recommend to others.

  It was tastefully furnished, extremely comfortable and with every conceivable facility. The décor was clearly thoughtfully chosen and the outlook onto the river was a bonus. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather on each day except one. The opportunity to visit the beautiful Arundel Castle was appreciated especially as it was within walking distance of Swan Cottage. Similarly, the town centre could be reached on foot - an important factor bearing in mind the problem of parking in the town centre. All in all, we had a quiet and relaxing time.We were looking forward immensely to being there and the peace and relaxation it promised and we were not disappointed.
